At the first of the month, the temperature reached a high of 70 degrees several times, so Junior Mike Head and Luke Proctor took advantages of the situation. However two weeks later, eight inches of snow fell causing school to close for one day. (Photo by Kathy Stout) Student Life 5

Homecoming Even behind the scenes it's a scream The floats have been torn down, and the buzzer has sound- ed. Homecoming is over, but not forgotten. Snyder leveled Lamesa 21-14 in the football game, and the journalism department won the float contest at the parade. One of the workers on this float was Cindy Shaw. After tearing up a float she had put so many hours into making, she said I felt our job was done. We won first place, and tearing down the float was just like cleaning up after any job. The parade and pep rally downtown was a huge success. The whole parade and event was a blast, said Shaw. Through the eyes of a first grader; though, it was a dream maker. Daniel Molina, a first grader, said, I had fun riding with the football players. I wish I could be a real football player. At the football game, halftime was a relief. The Tigers came back from a 14-0 deficit to go in at halftime leading 15-14. Then came the big moment. The an- nouncement of who was to be named Homecoming Queen. When Ramona Murphy was named Queen, she said, At first I felt like jumping up and down, but then I realized that I wouldn't look too graceful in a long dress. Then it hit me, and I was shocked! Becky Pylant, a nominee, said, I wasn't disap- pointed — it was a real honor to be a nominee. The Tigers came out and won the game 21-14. The week was capped off by a dance in the Student Center. Many ex-students were there as well as many SHS students. The underclassmen can look forward to the '84 homecoming, but it's over for the seniors and juniors. They will just have to come back for the '84. Cindy Shaw said, Too bad I won't see another homecoming at SHS.
